The 2005 Ford Escape 3 0 camshaft position sensor is located in the right side of the engine compartment at the rear of the valve cover, near the intake manifold. The coolant needs to be replaced every 60,000 miles. Your air filter needs to be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. The spark plugs need to be changed every 100,000 miles unless it's a copper one. A cooper spark plug needs to be changed every 30,000 miles. You will come into many problems with an engine. A gasket may be loose and that needs to be tightened up. A spark plug may pop off, causing engine issues. You can have oil leaks and those need to be repaired as soon as possible. There could be excessive oil use, requiring the oil to be replaced sooner than expected. A really serious problem is the engine overheating. This may lead to fires and the car exploding.

Sorry, but the above answer about the cam shaft position sensor that James B. Gave above is incorrect. The correct location of the 2005 Ford Escape 3.0 cam position sensor is found at the passenger side of engine at engine corner, near the serpentine belt just below the front valve cover. It's a 15-30 minute job depending on if there's other items that needs to be moved out of way. If you have a Ford 3.0 that is not an Escape model, then this sensor could be located in another place as I've seen on some videos.
